SAWYER.
Why the New Town OF Sawyer, Pratt Co..
Kas, on the Mulvane Extension Rail-
road VIII Make City OF

LIST. Because it is nineteen miles north from
Sawyer to the county seat of Pratt county.
and nineteen miles south to the county seat
OF Barber county, ten miles east on the same
line of road to the nearest located town, and
fifteen miles west to the nearest town, leav-
ing large body of the very best of farming
and stock raising land as tributary to Saw
yer.
ID. Because Sawyer is a railroad town To-
Gated by experienced men.
Sd. Because she is located in one of the
very best farming and stock raising districts
in Kansas.
4tk Because she is BEAUTIFULLY, pictur-
esguely and practically located, with good
wa son roads leading to her from all direc-
lions.
5th. Because as trading point she will
have little or no competition.
9th. Because the locality demands good
trading place and Sawyer affords this.
18th. Because to the natural advantages
and the unquestioned ability of the country
to support a town is added the activity and
push of enterprising men who have already
invested.
Sth. Because Sawyer has good prospects
of cross road running from Attica to Kins-
ley.
9th. Because one of the finest water DOW
ers in the state is located q short distance to
the southwark, as is also a fine Touring mill
owned ana operated by A. y. Johnson, vice
president and local agent of the town COM
pany. Rock is also found in large quantities
to the southwark.
Lots have been going so rapidly that it
has been found necessary to, eserve alternate
lots on Main street for parties desiring to
erect buildings. Eight buildings have been
put up in the last ten days. AT this date the
grading of the Chicago, Kansas & Western
has been completed to Sawyer. The track
will be laid within the next forty days. Par
ties desiring most promising opening for
business undertakings will do well to inv esti-
gate at an early day. 1856

The Jigi-Simpo, said to be the leading

number OF newly-proje railroads in
that country, especially advises the pro-
leCtors "to adopt for their model the in
expensive railroads of the United States.
which are constructed for their practical
usefulness and not for the outward APP
pearance." 1t goes on to remark that
1t by no means follows that because
American roads cost only One-tourth
as much as the English in construction,
the English are four times as good. In
many GOintS the American railroads are
superior; and under the circumstances of
speedy construction required for the least
cash outlay, sit would be much better to
have four miles of the American railroad
than one mile of the more highly finished

NO CHANGE OF POLICY.

PEsTH, March - Count Kalnokv
speaking before the budget committees o.
the Hungarian Diet, said that apart from
the serious character of the Bulgarian
question, grave doubts as TO the contin
uance of peace existed in countries scarce.
ly concerned in Bulgaria. Putting aside
unforeseen events the peace Of Austria was
not directly threatened, but ali the states
in Europe were arming, and the govern
ment was impelled by sense of it's re-
sponsibility to place the country in a
state OF complete preparation. The
measures adopted were of a purely de-
fensive character. The government had
no reason to change it's peaceful, conserv-
alive policy.
